My 5 m/o DS has the most ear piercing scream and is using it a lot at the mo. It seems to communicate frustration, impatience or annoyance rather than distress. He screams as if he is yelling. He stops when we pick him up, and starts again if we try and put him down... it's exhausting. Often he can go from smiley / happy to loud screams within a second. It's worse on an evening. He is teething so I think that makes it worse at times, but I don't think it's all attributable to that.
Is this just a phase? How should we deal with the screaming? Or are we missing something and could something be wrong with him to make him so screamy??
